About the data

bzn.ae indexes legal entities from the UAE and other MENA countries that hold a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). LEI data comes from GLEIF, is validated against official business registries (DED, DIFC, ADGM, free zones, ministries of commerce) and is published under CC0.

Coverage: companies that obtained an LEI — banks, funds, exporters, holding companies, mid-size and large businesses. Small trade licenses without an LEI are not yet included.

The index is refreshed every 24 hours. Corporate group links are loaded live from GLEIF.

Court cases, debts and bankruptcy records are not published in machine-readable form by UAE authorities, so bzn.ae does not show them rather than guess.
